Council Unanimous That the New Rail
road Is a Public Nccosstty—A Vice Presi
dent's Statement of What Is to He Done.
All the members were present at the meet
ing of City Council last evening, with Presi
dent Conrad In the chair. Upon motion of
Mr. Quinn the reading ot the minutes was
dispensed with. Mr. Beecher moved that,
as there was very important business to
come before the Council, and some ot the
members on the opposite side of the house
desired to get away early,
of business be suspended and the rules set
aside, and a report from the Law Committee
be received. The motion was carried.
The Law Committee reporte 1 that the ordi
nance permitting the Delaware and Western
Railroad Company to run their road through
the northwestern part of the city contained
nothing to conflict with the city charter and
recommended that the ordinance be adopted.
The report was received and Samuel
Spencer, third vice president of the Balti
more and Ohio Railroad Company, was per
mitted to make a few remarks_concernlng
the intention of his com
line had been carefully
where it would be best aud do both the com
pany and the city the most good. They
would place a depot convenient to that part
of the city which was rapidly growing. It
had been the aim of the company to present
a simple ordinance in terms plain aud easily
understood and they only asked the privi
ledge to make a first-class road through the
city. It was the intention of the
company, he said, to begin work as
soon as' possible after the passage of the
ordtnauce, taking into consideration the
giving out of contracts. "We have ex
amined the subject carefully," he said. "We
know what we want,our decisions are made,
and we are prepared to go on as soon as the
city of Wilmington gives us the privileges
requested." The road, he added, w'ould be
first-class in character. It will l>c a

York on the way to New York. By the
charter granted them by the State of Dela

only gave them 18 months to complete the
heaviest portion of the route, and the most
critical portion of
in Delaware, which consisted
long bridge over the Brandywine. They
asked for the passage of the ordinance now,
as work must commence at once, without
delay, as it was not desired to ask the Leg
islature for the continuance of time. The
road was to be fully completed in eighteen
months. Hoping that the request would be
granted the speaker finished. The ordi
nance was then read by its sections, where
upon Mr. Beecher offered a supplementary
section, which provided that the grades of
Scott aud Fourteenth streets and Gilpin
avenue be so arranged that the new road
would pass over them on bridges the same
as at Delaware avenue, and not on a level
with the streets.
After a few unimportant questions by
several of the members a vote
upon the ordinance
passed without a dissenting voice aud be
came a law of the city.
The regular order of business was then
taken up and the miscellaneous pay-roll for
October amounting to fl,464.49, was taken
up, passed, and orclers directed to be drawn
for the several amounts named.
A petition for a street lamp at Tenth and
Bennett streets was recommended to be
granted and the report accepted,

tion of mixed schools, aud argued that there
was a tendency in the Republican party
toward them and they would sorely conn
in case of Republican success in Delaware.
Senator Bayard then introduced the Hon.
William Pinkney Whyte, Mayor of Baltl
more, in a few well-chosen and eloquent
words. The endorsement was warm aud
the crowd finally got on its feet and cheered
when Maryland 7 s honored son stepped be
fore the footlights.
Mayor White spoke in the most flattering
terms of Delaware, its people and its re
nowned Senator. The name of Bayard
[applause] would endure as long as the
Republic should last. It was associated
with all that was good, and true, and
patriotic in our history,
warmly applauded any movement which
looked to bringing young men forward in
polities, and commended the young Demo
crats of Wilmington for what they had done
aud were doing. There had been but
little party politics of late, but he
was in favor of party, and believed that all
matters of a national
erly conducted by party and within party.
The speaker with rare eloquence went ou

party to get into power since 1S72. In that

SENATOR BAYARD'S SPKRCB.
Calls were new made for Senator Bayard
and responding he said:
Fellow Citizens : I have come hare to
night to have a pleasure which t have en
joyed—the privilege of introducing the
honored gentleman who bos Just spoken
and of hearing him. X did not come bora to
make a speech and I am not prepared to do
it, but it may be well for me to coll atten
tion to the matter of local issues Involved In
this campaign, as I did when I last spoke
here. At that time I felt it aay
duty to warn you against men who have
taken the Republican party by tha throat
and attempt to govern this State through It.
I spoke to you plainly. I could not help
but do this—it was my duty. What I told
you then was stated candidly and honestly.
While I pointed out the danger to come
from having such rulers as you will have if
Republican party succeeds, I at the same
time gave the facts and the records. Has
there been any denial of the truth of
my assertions? Nota word and nearly a
month has passed. The record grows blacker
still. Look at your

there ever any thing whispered in this State,
under Democratic rule, as it has been, that
the* Attorney-General of this State had ac
cepted a bribe to acquit a murderer ? Look
in your papers to-day and see what other
people have done."
The speaker then went on to draw a sad
picture ot what the State would be were it
placed in these hands. After referring to
the corruption of the city government of
Philadelphia under a Republican adminis
tration and Phipps' stealing of $75,000 a
year, twice as much as it cost to run the
State Government of Delaware, he said the
people were right in breaking It up.
